How to Make Oatmeal Protein Muffins

There are so many things to love about this one-bowl oatmeal protein muffin recipe: It's low in sugar, flexible with substitutions and includes three simple sources of protein (nut butter, chia seeds, and flaxseed). But best of all... these muffins are seriously delicious.

Get Started

Set your oven to 375 degrees F and grease the muffin pan. Use coconut oil, spray or butter to grease your pan. Next, mash your bananas in a large mixing bowl.

When it comes to baking with bananas, the browner the better. They'll have more flavor. (Image: Charity Curley Mathews, founder of Foodlets.com)A potato masher works best but a fork would also do for very ripe bananas. (Image: Charity Curley Mathews, founder of Foodlets.com)

Add the Remaining Ingredients

There's no way to mess this up. Simply combine all the ingredients and stir until thoroughly mixed.

Prepare to Bake

Fill muffin cups to the top. A 3-ounce ice cream scoop works perfectly for evenly distributing muffin batter into pans. This is the time to add optional toppings such as chocolate chips or banana chips.

Tip: Place a couple of chocolate or banana chips in the bottom of each cup before ladling in the batter. (Image: Charity Curley Mathews, founder of Foodlets.com)Try using coconut oil spray to grease the pan. It's delicious! (Image: Charity Curley Mathews, founder of Foodlets.com)
